BECAUSE THERE ALREADY WAS ONE DEVOTED TO CHRIS FARLEY: A bunch of interesting tidbit's in EW's "oral history" of Dr. Horrible, including:
  • NPH read for, and almost got, the part of Simon Tam on Firefly. (Personally, I can see why that didn't work--casting NPH as a "brilliant young doctor" has a lot of baggage--though NPH as Wash would have interesting.)
  • Whedon "has a little recording studio built into his attic."
  • At various points in scripting, Dr. Horrible hijacked a wheelbarrow and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier rather than a van.
  • The "Dr. Horrible Van Remote" application will soon be available for iPhone.
  • The entire opening monologue/blog entry was done in a single take -- no cuts or digital edits. While cuts were originally planned, they loved NPH's delivery so much that they did it that way.
  • They're hoping the DVD will include the following language tracks: "French, Spanish, Japanese translated back very badly into English, classical Latin, and panther noises."
